Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

This feasibility pilot cluster RCT aims to pilot and feasibility test an online training toolkit (Managing Minds at Work) for line managers to develop their knowledge and confidence in preventing work-related stress and promoting mental health at work. The setting is work organisations of different types and sectors across the Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Participants must have direct managerial or supervisor responsibilities for 3 or more staff members. The intervention consists of five modules of online learning: Looking after your own Mental Health; Designing and managing work to promote mental well-being; Management competencies to prevent work-related stress; Developing a psychologically safe work environment; Having conversations about mental health at work. Each module includes some descriptive content, interactive elements and opportunities for reflections, and take between 20-30 minutes to complete. Participating organisations will be allocated to either the intervention or control arm. A waiting list control will be used, with line managers in the control organisations starting the intervention 3-months after baseline. Data will be collected through online surveys with the intervention group at baseline, immediately post-intervention (around 6 weeks post baseline), 3-months follow-up and 6-months follow-up. Control group will complete the online surveys at baseline and 3-months (as they start the intervention) and immediately after completing the intervention. As a feasibility pilot study, analysis will be focused on acceptability of the intervention, feasibility of recruitment, retention and data collection, and estimating parameters for a larger trial. The primary outcome measure is line managers' confidence to create a mentally healthy workplace. The secondary outcomes line manger mental health knowledge, line manager workplace mental health literacy, line manager self-rating of behaviour. In addition, the direct reports of line managers will be invited to participate to assess the feasibility of collecting the outcome data related to: employee well-being, employee rating of line manager behaviour, employee sickness absence, employee productivity. A process evaluation will be conducted to assess intervention acceptability, usability, implementation and effectiveness. Qualitative data will be collected via module feedback forms and in-depth interviews with a sample of line managers from the intervention arm and stakeholders.

Low adherence in self-guided internet interventions might lead to worse outcomes. This randomized controlled trial aims to test whether adherence can be improved if self-efficacy regarding adherence to internet interventions is boosted before the intervention starts. It is expected that enhancing this specific type of self-efficacy will increase people's adherence and help them fully benefit from the intervention, namely experience lower job stress and higher work engagement.

The goal of this randomized control trial is to learn if physical therapy coaching and education improves work-related muscle pain in surgeons more than education alone. The main focuses of this study are to: To evaluate pain in surgeons before and after surgical cases. To evaluate work-load related stress in surgeons after surgical cases. To evaluate surgeons' quality of life. To evaluate surgeons' grip strength. Participants will be put into two groups at random. One group will watch an educational video only. The other group will watch an educational video and get a coaching session from a physical therapist.

First Responders are expected to maintain high-performance levels under extreme conditions. However, constant intense workplace stress, physical work demands, and irregular shift hours are taking a severe toll on frontline workers. These demands often lead to physical and mental health problems, poor job performance, and lifestyle issues. Without better support and resources, these demands will continue to cause first responders to be trapped in a vicious cycle that typically includes occupational trauma, stress, and maladaptive coping skills. The purpose of this research is to: Better understand the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impacts workplace stress and irregular shift hours have on first responders Better understand the most prominent challenges first responders face when trying to manage their own physical and mental health. Through the results of this study, we hope to identify possible solutions/interventions at the individual, clinical and departmental levels to help first responders better manage their stress and improve their quality of life.

The goal of this four-part preclinical [I-II] and clinical [III-IV] trial is to compare, with randomised crossover study design [I-IV], a new medical airway device with standard procedure (biteblock or no device) for upper airway patency during sedation with intravenous propofol [I-IV]. - Page 1 of 9 [DRAFT] - The two main questions it aims to answer are if this new airway device is superior to standard procedure with respect to maintenance of spontaneous ventilation [I] and upper airway volumes [II] at moderate and deep steady-state levels of sedation in healthy volunteer study participants, and fewer and less lasting bedside signs of respiratory depression [III-IV], and less adjuvant use of manual airway support [III-IV] during procedural sedation (PS) according to standard of care(SOC) in study patients scheduled for colonoscopy or ureteral catheterisation under PS. Owing to the crossover study design used throughout the trial, there are no comparison groups of study participants [I-II] or study patients [III-IV].

Participants will be selected according to their affiliation with the Paris 8 CPTS. They will be asked to complete a series of self-questionnaires to determine their stress levels and lifestyle habits. These tests will be used to define a wellness pathway for each participant in order to reduce the stress they feel at work. These wellness pathways are based around 4 distinct themes: Diet, nutrition and micronutrition Physical activity Sleep Stress and wellness. Participants will be follow-up at 3 and 6 months by means of self-questionnaires and advice on the programme.

We spend a third of our life at work. Psychosocial risks (PSR) are a major issue in occupational health 1. Approaching the different dimensions of PSR calls on a dozen essential components: workload, autonomy, social support, burnout, anxiety, efforts made, rewards, work addiction, investment, etc. a specific questionnaire which usually contains 20 to 30 questions, so that having an overall view of PSR using the current reference questionnaires (Karasek, Siegrist, etc.) represents a total of more than 300 questions. The response time is thus incompatible with current medical practice (passage in the waiting room before the occupational health medical examination) and leads to a majority of non-responses during anonymous questionnaires on the Internet. On the other hand, these validated questionnaires were carried out by different people and are very heterogeneous between them, including in their formulation, so that the respondents have the impression of disorganization and anarchy. There is therefore a need for short, quick and uniform questionnaires. EVAs offer the incredible advantage of meeting these criteria: speed, uniformity, precision. From a data analysis point of view, EVAs also have the advantage of offering a continuous quantitative response, allowing the use of all statistical approaches. If some questionnaires have already been validated in the form of EVA, such as the EVA stress versus the " Perceived Stress Scale " questionnaire (PSS), the EVA workload and EVA autonomy at work versus the Karasek questionnaire, the other reference questionnaires are not yet validated in EVA (burnout, anxiety, efforts / rewards, work addiction, etc.).

Chronic pain is associated with mental disorders, and some patients have behavioral issues. Some patients may sexually or racially harass pain clinic staff. Healthcare staff do not usually report sexual or racial harassment perpetrated by patients. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of prospective electronic and clinic diary data. Evaluation of incidents of sexual and racial harassment of clinic staff; perpetrated by patients. Analysis of causative factors, incident outcome, system factors and lessons learned.

Work stress results from an imbalance between the worker's hopes and work's conditions. Midwifes are exposed to emergency situations (newborn distress, neonatal resuscitation, foetal abnormal heart rythm, delivery hemorrhage, …), which can cause stress and sometimes lead to burnout.
